Virtual Encounter via Zoom / Leonora Carrington: Revelation, Fundación MAPFRE, Madrid
Due to the current national security situation, the Museum will be closed to the public and all activities in physical spaces are postponed until further notice.
We are all going through extremely trying times. In a bid to help, however modestly, we continue to offer, for the third week running, an hour of respite, by providing captivating lectures and encounters every day, free of charge, via Zoom.
This week we will get to know important exhibitions, major artists and especially beloved works held in the collection of the Tel Aviv Museum of Art. We invite you, the culture-loving public, to enjoy an hour of curiosity.
We wish everyone days of peace.

Leonora Carrington: Revelation, Fundación MAPFRE, Madrid / Lecturer: Noa Rosenberg, Curator of Modern Art and 16th–19th Century European Art
This virtual tour allows participants to visit Madrid from the comfort of their own home. We will take a tour of Leonora Carrington’s highly acclaimed exhibition Revelation, which was crowned Exhibition of the Year by TIME magazine. We will tour the galleries, delve into the important works and considerations that guided the exhibition’s curators, and meet one of the key works presented in it—a painting on loan from the Tel Aviv Museum of Art. The digital medium will both allow us to peruse the spaces as a whole and to get closer to the works and discern the smallest details on the canvas.
Note: This activity is in Hebrew only.
